About Malice Mizer, I didn't click with their music but I've been much more attentive about their branch of visual style (v-kei) which undeniably had effect on little me. At the same time, maybe I haven't given them the fairest shot. I'll go off-rail to talking more about my art. I used to lurk j-fashion forums a lot when I was a pre-teen so I've known about MM (especially Mana-sama) for a while!

My visits then drove me to stalk a lot of re-selling websites. I would be fantasising about what I would change in the clothing and co-ord. But I barely ever envisioned myself wearing them, it was always weird characters. The reduced second-hand prices made me feel better about doing so. It fed my visual library in a specific way. But i've never been more than a tourist to the subculture.

Here's some drafts of personal stuff. None of these characters are wearing existing clothes, I designed them myself (amateurishly.) I want to start posting OCs in batches to this blog one day. These characters aren't pre-"thought-out" as much as I just like designing things a lot. And it's not just these few dollfaces that are in my folder, far from it!
